Our verdict

If you like a roomy toe box and a level, natural stance but still want plenty of cushioning for road miles, the Torin 9 is the shoe to look at. The trade-off: zero drop asks more of your calves and Achilles, so switch over gradually if you are coming from a traditional 8–12 mm shoe.
RightDeals research · checked 12 Oct 2026
Altra builds shoes around two ideas: a zero-drop platform that keeps your heel and forefoot level, and a foot-shaped fit with extra toe room for natural toe movement. The Torin 9 is the cushioned road version. Its new P35X dual-density midsole pairs a soft foam with a firmer one for comfort and a stable ride, a new Vibram XS DURA rubber outsole adds grip (Altra says 8.5% grippier than the Torin 8), and a breathable mesh upper with a reshaped heel and tongue makes it easy to step in.

Why you’ll like it

  1. 01

    Room for your toes: the Altra Fit gives extra toe room for natural toe movement with a secure midfoot.

  2. 02

    A level, natural stance: zero drop keeps heel and forefoot at the same height.

  3. 03

    Cushioned yet stable: P35X pairs soft and firmer foams.

  4. 04

    Confident grip: Vibram XS DURA rubber, which Altra rates 8.5% grippier than the Torin 8.

Great for

  • Runners with wide forefeet who feel cramped in tapered shoes
  • Zero-drop fans who want max cushioning on roads
  • Walkers who want a roomy, level shoe

Maybe skip it if

  • You have Achilles or calf issues and are used to a high-drop shoe

Questions people ask

What does zero drop mean?

Your heel and forefoot sit at the same height above the ground, as when standing barefoot, instead of the heel being raised as in most running shoes.

Is this the GTX version?

No. Altra also lists a Torin 9 GTX; this listing is the standard Torin 9 with a breathable mesh upper.
